Is zero degrees North longitude due north?

Wow! What a tangled web we weave!No, for myriad reasons.-- Longitude is east/west, not north/south.-- Zero degrees north is a line all around the earth, called the equator.-- Latitudes and longitudes describe places, not directions.-- If you want to define a direction using latitude and longitude, you need tohave the latitudes and longitudes of two different points. From those numbers,it's possible to calculate the direction from one point to the other.-- Well, OK. We can twist ourselves into a pretzel and give you something thatmight please you:True North is the direction from (any latitude and longitude) toward (90° north latitude),because (90° north latitude) is the definition of the north pole.(It's not necessary to give a longitude for the north pole, because all longitudesconverge there, so you can pick any number for it and you're correct.)

What four properties of a map can be distorted by projection?

I'm not sure I understand the question. But of course the globe is a sphere, and a sphere can not be correctly represented on a 2D plane (eg. a paper map). The distortion effect is minimised though as the area represented gets smaller. The other is that grid north and magnetic north differ.
